The Fog Dodgers invite all residents and visitors of the Mendocino Coast to join us on our weekly group runs and walks. We have runners and walkers of all abilities (and even some bikers) and we have only one "rule" - we start at exactly 8:00 a.m. on Sundays. Exercise at your own pace (1/2 hour out, 1/2 hour back) and experience the fresh Mendocino coastal air.

Fog Dodgers provides a fun, safe way to explore some of our local trails and back roads and to meet new friends. You can find out where we're going to be by reading the bottom of last week's post, then clicking on the "Our Routes" tab above. We average 15-20 persons each Sunday and typically half will go to breakfast together afterwards at a nearby restaurant.

CASPAR LOGGING ROADS


Did anyone not see this week's full moon?  John took this photo from the Mendocino headlands, just a few minutes before our 7:00 a.m. start on Tuesday.  Sometimes it really pays to wake up early!

J. Loomis photo, thanks John!







It was 52 degrees at our start this morning.  The skies were cloudless and blue and the forest protected us from the strong coastal winds.  It was a beautiful morning.

Notice that in two weeks, we will try a new venue.  It's one that the Mid-week Fog Dodgers have been doing for the past month, since Big River Road is closed for maintenance.  I think we like it so much, we may just keep doing it.  It's a beautiful run or hike, hopefully the weather will cooperate.




The weather is changing now, rather quickly.  Yesterday, I saw two very large formations of geese flying south.  I guess they know something.
